Yikes! You've just been asked to book a meeting for 50 people, with several breakout rooms, and it's a mere two weeks out. Impossible, you respond.
Might it be possible at an airport hotel? Before you recoil in horror, consider this. Many major hotel companies have top-of-the-line properties at airports. Hilton leads, with 37 out of its 230 U.S. hotels. And airport hotels have meeting rooms with features comparable to those at the chains' downtown locations.
Meetings are important to airport properties. They represent 30 percent of the business at both the O'Hare Hilton and the Harborside Hyatt Hotel and Conference Center in Boston, 40 percent at the Atlanta Marriott, 45 percent at the Hyatt Regency Orlando (which is converting an exhibit hall to a full-scale ballroom to accommodate more meetings), and 50 percent at the Westin O'Hare. The Hyatt Regency DFW has 81 meeting rooms, and "I'd like to expand to about 100," says director of sales and marketing Brian Booth.
Would an airport hotel work for your meeting? Would it be a good deal? This checklist can help you decide.
A good choice for . . . * Planners with tight deadlines.The booking window for airport hotels is usually one week to six months. You don't even have a week? "We can completely wrap up a meeting on the phone in 15 minutes," says Joe Collier, director of sales and marketing for the Tampa Airport Marriott. "We can fax a proposal, menus, and a short-form contract."
That doesn't mean you can't book a meeting well in advance. Ronald Bruns, director of administrative affairs for the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), Park Ridge, Ill., has a long-standing relationship with the Westin O'Hare and books some meetings three years out.
*Short meetings.Airport meetings average one and one-half to two days. When Marie A. Dahmer, CMP, meeting planner for VHA Inc., an alliance of nonprofit healthcare organizations, schedules airport meetings for hospital CEOs or nursing leaders, she typically starts at 11:30 a.m. with a working lunch, and adjourns by 2:00 the next day--mission accomplished, and only one night's stay required. Dahmer, based in Irving, Texas, uses airport properties in Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago.
*Small meetings.At airport hotels, most meeting rooms are geared to groups of 10 to 75 people. Often, these rooms have permanent conference setups. For example, the Hyatt Regency DFW has an executive conference level with 15 preset boardrooms. At the O'Hare Hilton, 39 of the 60 meeting rooms are preset.
Of course, there are exceptions. Dave Betke, CMP, senior meeting planner for Searle Pharmaceuticals in Skokie, Ill., holds 30-person sales meetings at O'Hare, but also brings in up to 300 people for sales or marketing meetings, or customer symposiums. For even larger groups, The Los Angeles Airport Hilton and Towers has a ballroom that accommodates 1,300 people theater-style, and the Hyatt Regency Orlando, a ballroom for receptions of 800 people.
*Meetings requiring many breakouts. Carol Di Domenico, a Tampa-based regional sales coordinator for Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, each year plans four or five training meetings of 30 to 50 people. "We break out by product or specialty, for example, cardiovascular or neurosciences, and we need a lot of breakout space," she says. Her choice: airport hotels in Tampa and Orlando.
* Meetings that are all business.Although airport hotels often have recreational facilities (see sidebar, page 38), the choice of venue tells participants, "We're going to get in, work, and get out."
For serious business, you can even find a conference center at an airport. VHA's Dahmer frequents the DFW Lakes Hilton. "Because it's a conference center, that adds to the appeal," she says. She appreciates "the quality of the meeting rooms themselves, even the conference center chairs."
But might not be right for . . . *A long meeting. "We thought we were doing people a favor" by scheduling a course at an airport hotel, says Suzanne Ziemnik, MEd, director, Division of CME, for the American Academy of Pediatrics in Elk Grove Village, Ill. "Airport hotels are usually much cheaper, and cost to me is a driving factor." But the course lasted five full days, and "People felt trapped."
Di Domenico uses airport properties for week-long training meetings. But her attendees have little free time--there are even workshops in the evenings.
*A meeting that physician attendees want to combine with a family vacation. There might not be enough recreational opportunities for spouse and children--unless it's a property like the lakeside Miami Airport Hilton and Towers, which offers many water sports; or the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport, adjacent to a major shopping mall.
Airport hotel pluses *Time savings.Meet at the airport and you eliminate travel time to and from downtown. It's just a short van ride (complimentary) from terminal to hotel--sometimes not even that. Both the Hyatt Regency Orlando and Tampa Airport Marriott are literally within the terminal; at the latter, you can phone a bellman from the baggage claim area.
*Cost savings. An airport location eliminates the costs of taxis, airport shuttle buses, and rental cars. "Our members are on a per diem, so a $40 cab ride to downtown has an impact," says Bruns.
*Experience."You get excellent, excellent service at airport hotels," says Di Domenico. "Because so many people pass through, the hotels know how to handle them."
As Ken Smith, general manager of the O'Hare Hilton, says, "Because of the short stays, we probably turn over 70 to 75 percent of our rooms each day. That's why we offer Zip-in check-in/Zip-out check-out."
Airport hotel myths *They're downscale.Airport hotels that carry a major brand name have all the features that you'd expect from that brand, from concierge floors and suites to guest room data ports to 24-hour room service.
"Sometimes there's a perception that you don't get the quality of the product at an airport hotel," says Alan J. Fabris, director of sales and marketing at the Westin O'Hare. "But I'll put my hotel up against any downtown hotel in my category."
* They're not equipped for meetings. "People who hold meetings at airport hotels need to accomplish the same things" as people who meet elsewhere, notes Collier at the Tampa Marriott. "We have audiovisual equipment, including LCD panels, fax capabilities, a service staff that can get things done."
Airport properties that target the meetings market offer groups what they need. The Hyatt Regency O'Hare has 61 meeting rooms, from boardrooms to ballrooms, 100,000 square feet in all. There are 40 meeting rooms, three tiered amphitheaters, and 14,000 square feet of exhibit space at the DFW Lakes Hilton; ISDN lines and fiber-optic cables at the Hyatt Regency Orlando; multilingual translation capability at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton. Business centers and on-site audiovisual support are the norm.
Getting the best deal Negotiating with an airport hotel is much like negotiating with any other property: the fundamental things apply. To get the best deal, keep these six important factors in mind:
* Market conditions.Airport hotels, like others, are benefiting from the sellers' market. But competition and the local economy also matter. At Boston's Logan Airport, the Harborside Hyatt is the only upscale airport property, and it is small--just 270 guest rooms and 19,000 square feet of meeting space--so it's selective. But go West, meeting planner, and you'll find that Los Angeles is "the bargain basement of the world," says Dennis Clarke, general manager of the Los Angeles Airport Hilton & Towers. "People today don't talk rates; they talk availability," says Clarke. "But Los Angeles is behind the rest of the country, and anything is negotiable here."
Chicago's O'Hare has more hotels than other U.S. airports, but the demand for meeting space is so high, it's a tough market for negotiating.
* Timing. That said, you can do well in Chicago in the first quarter. "People don't mind coming to a cold climate for a meeting if they'll be here only two days, and they can get a great deal," says Daren Snow, director of marketing at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. In Boston, too, rates are better in the first quarter but "substantially higher" September through November, says Judy Sheng, sales manager at the Harborside Hyatt. Florida's low season is May to October. "In summer, you negotiate everything," says Farooq Rehmatwala, general manager at the Miami Airport Hil-ton and Towers.
The deals are better at all these properties for groups that can check in on a Thursday or a Sunday for a one- or two-day meeting.
* Number of sleeping rooms.The more sleeping rooms you book, the less you'll pay for a meeting room--at an airport hotel, as elsewhere. Dhaka notes that at O'Hare, she pays $1,200 for a meeting room if she uses fewer than 10 sleeping rooms, but only $500 with 10 or more sleeping rooms.
*Pickup history.ASA consistently picks up 95 percent of the rooms Bruns books at the Westin O'Hare, and that, he says, gives him significant negotiating clout.
* Food and beverage expenditures. The more you use the hotel catering department, the better your deal. Di Domenico has greater leverage because she books breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two breaks daily.
At the Atlanta Airport Marriott, director of marketing Bob Stewart tries to limit group business to 40 percent. "But if a group has heavy food and beverage, and a lot of sleeping rooms, we'll trade out the transient business" for that group, he says.
The Hyatt Regency Orlando will even cater off-property and factor that revenue into negotiations.
Groups that don't have their meals in function rooms are a genuine problem for the Hyatt Harborside: The hotel's one restaurant, with 150 seats, simply can't accommodate groups.
* Continuing relationships."The Westin O'Hare is not inexpensive, but we get great value," says Bruns. A key reason: he's been meeting there since 1985. Searle's Betke cites "relationships--the people that I know" as the most important factor in negotiation. Di Domenico uses the Tampa Airport Marriott four or five times per year, and repeat business certainly helps. But Bristol-Myers has a national contract with Marriott, and "that's part of our negotiating power." In sum, use your standard negotiating points. But don't expect the hotels to be pushovers. They want your business, and are confident they deserve it. As Fabris at the Westin O'Hare says, "I don't have the Magnificent Mile, but downtown hotels don't have O'Hare."
That's not an oxymoronic headline. Case in point: the Miami Airport Hilton and Towers, which calls itself "The Resort Near the Airport" and targets the incentive travel market. Located on a peninsula that juts into a 100-acre lake, the property offers jet skiing, Wave Runners, and power boats for waterskiing, plus tennis courts, an outdoor pool, a Jacuzzi, a jogging path, and a cardiovascular fitness center.
The Hyatt Regency DFW has a health club with workout equipment in each of its two towers, plus a heated outdoor pool. And just five minutes away (by way of a free shuttle) is the Hyatt Bear Creek Golf and Racquet Club, with two 18-hole golf courses, tennis and racquetball courts, and a ropes course for teambuilding activities.
For shop-'til-you-drop types, the terminal adjacent to the Hyatt Regency Orlando has 37 shops with mall prices, not airport markups, according to hotel general manager Patricia Engfer.
At the Los Angeles Airport Hilton and Towers, the 25,000-square-foot fitness center, open 24 hours, has 30 exercise bikes, 30 treadmills, a racquetball court, and free weights. And one floor above the meeting rooms are landscaped gardens, available for events.
The Atlanta Airport Marriott has the usual amenities, plus one more: It sits peacefully amid 14 wooded acres; not your typical airport hotel.
In fact, "typical airport hotel" might be the oxymoron.

Dallas >Food & Dining > Ojeda's Restaurant
4617 Maple Ave, Dallas, TX | Directions 7521932.812954 -96.824422
Mon-Thu 10am-9:30pm ; Fri 10am-10:30pm ; Sat 10am-10:30pm ; Sun 10am-9:30pm ; Open 7 Days
Neighborhoods: Northwest Dallas/Love Field
LOVE IT – I love OJEDAS!! I have been eating there for years, and I always get there enchiladas :] The staff is great and service is nice and quick. I always get my food right away while it's still hot. I love this family restaurant and you will too!!
They've lost their focus – I've been here a number of times over several years, and with each succeeding visit my experience has diminished. First the margaritas: there's barely a hint of tequila in the house rita, and the so-called large for seven bucks is only about 14oz. Upon questioning, the waiter of course tries to sell the Gold variety for several dollars more. How about just putting some tequila in the drink to begin with?
Chile Relleno? Ws breaded with crumbs and prepared ahead of time rather than coated in the traditional egg batter and fried upon order. And they used an Anaheim instead of a Poblano. All in all a poor attempt at a relleno. I do better at home.
Maybe this passes muster with some locals, but Ojeda's either needs to get their stuff together and return to what built their (now over-rated) reputation or be prepared to fold their tent.
There is better...... – I do not understand the great reviews. We went here based on the positive feedback on this site, but I am convinced that each was posted by an employee or friend. Food is very (very) bland and was not prepared fresh. It took two minutes at most to get the food on the table after ordering, which means it was sitting in back under a warmer or something. I like local joints, and I like cheap, but I do not like or recommend Ojeda's simply based on taste.
Go for the cheese. – Hello, all. This is my first post, so it may be scattered. :) I actually live in Dallas, and have spent most of my life within a mile of this restaurant. I have to say, as a native, you can find better. The restaurant has it's strong suits. It's family owned, so the service is top notch. Friendly, professional, and quick. And this may sound absurd, but for me, it's the CHEESE. This place has fantastic cheese. If you are craving nachos, this is the place. On the negative, their combinations are kind of weird, as in, I can rarely find a combination that sounds good. There was a comment a few down that says that the salsa is heavy on vinegar. Just so you know, they have a secret. Ask for the mild salsa. They only give it upon request, and it tastes so much better, and doesn't have the "vinegar" and "my-mouth-is-gonna-catch-fire" feeling. Honestly, the food here is average. I can name three restaurants within a mile or two that are better.
Great Chili Rellenos – After several trips to Ojeda's Mexican Restaurant on Maple I have come to the conclusion that this may be the best Mexican Food west of the Mississippi. Every trip to Dallas confirms the five star rating that I have imposed on this wonderful menu. The puff Taco and Chili Rellenos are fabulous and the sangria/margarita swirl is out of this world. Drink two and take a designated driver with you.
Solid but unspectacular – I just got back to my hotel (several large ones are very close which may be a plus if you are traveling) from dinner. I have to say I am quite a bit less impressed than some other reviewers. I had steak fajitas which are highly touted but were only above average. The steak was tender but a bit bland. Guacamole was very average. The chips were not the best and the salsa was appropriately hot but heavy on vinegar. The refried beans were great, good bacon flavor. Margaritas on the rocks were heavy on sweet mix. Probably the highlight was the service, very friendly, surprisingly professional, and prompt. Bottom line, I would go again if there was no wait and I was staying this close (Anatole Hilton).
Awesome Cheese & Onion Enchiladas & Margaritas! – The chicken stuffed jalapeno appetizers are an incredible start to an amazing eating experience. They are never greasy, but fried crisp perfection. The cheese & onion enchiladas are superior with the hot melted cheese, flavorful pungent onions, and topped with a chili gravy sauce.1 I am not a fan of refried beans, but these are a must try! They have a hint of meat flavor and my palate speculates it to be bacon! Mmm Service is prompt and attentive. We order our appetizer and then upon completion of eating it we order our meal because the food comes so quickly. Ojeda's is by far the best mexican restaurant in Texas.
Great service & yummy food! – We?re new to Dallas and were craving some Mexican food. After searching and reading various reviews we decided to dine at Ojeda?s on Maple Street. This restaurant is located on Maple with several other Hispanic eating establishments. We were greeted immediately and seated. Our wait staff acknowledged us quickly. The chips were served warm. What they say about the salsa being spicy is so true, which was a pleasure to us since we love spicy salsa. The salsa is left in a pour container on the table so you can have as much as you want. We ordered margaritas on the rocks after reading that they are known for being strong. Ojeda?s only allows you to have a maximum of 3 large margaritas due to the intensity of them?and only one if you are not eating. I?m a margarita snob and found their margaritas to be better than average. It wasn?t overly sweet and I could tell they were on the stronger side. We dined on enchiladas (spinach & chicken) and found them satisfying. The spinach was fresh and the meal WAS NOT greasy. Dinner was hot and ingredients appeared fresh. The service was fast, friendly & efficient?we never had an empty chip basket or drink.
Dallas institution! – This place is the best longest lasting mexican food restaurant in Dallas. It is a Dallas institution. Everything is great tex mex fare. I prefer the enchiladas. Watch out, the Margarita's are very strong. You can get a few menu items and share with a big group. The staff is freindly and the service is great.
This is also a great place for a party, you can rent out a large party room with food and staff etc.

SKETCHBOOK about photographer and artist Dan Eldon. Dan Eldon was only 22 when, at the height of the conflict in Somalia, he and three other journalists were chased down by a mob enraged at a United Nations helicopter attack and stoned to death. The year was 1993. Eldon was among the first to document famine in Somalia; he had risen rapidly through the ranks of war photographers, with spreads in Time, Newsweek, and Stern. But, as "The Journey Is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon (Chronicle Books) shows, he was an artist as well. The son of an English father and an American mother, he grew up in Nairobi, where he became fascinated by the mixture of European and African cultures and learned to speak fluent Swahili. At fifteen, he began recording his life in a series of eclectic, exuberantly collaged journals, which incorporate everything from his own drawings and paintings (such as the one at the right) to stamps, matchbook covers, photographs of his friends, and selfportraits (the one above is from a page of religious kitsch). By the time Eldon died, he had compiled seventeen journals, the last of which--according to his mother, Kathy, who edited the published selection--consisted, uncharacteristically, of his Somalia photographs mounted on plain white paper. Eldon was a popular figure in Somalia, but he'd become depressed by seeing the Africa he loved crumbling around him. In one of his journals he quotes Plato: "Only the dead have seen the end of war." The article is accompanied by a photograph collage self-portrait of Dan Eldon and a full-page color spread of one of his paintings. The color spread shows a human face at the center of swirls of color and bird imagery.

2013 Record: 11-5
2012 was supposed to be a year of transition into the Andrew Luck era. Instead, Luck accelerated the timetable a ton, took existing tools and turned them into a playoff team. Luck threw for over 4,300 yards and 23 touchdowns but 18 interceptions, and the offense wasn't very balanced. Vick Ballard ended up with 814 rushing yards but still rushed for less than four yards per carry, as did Donald Brown. Reggie Wayne had an unreal year for a 34-year-old, clicking with Luck immediately. Donnie Avery had a solid year and T.Y. Hilton came out of nowhere to become a solid third receiver. The Colts really started gaining attention after they beat the Packers in Week 5, then strung together four straight wins Weeks 7-10, going to 6-3. They impressively beat the Texans the last week of the year before falling flat in Baltimore in the first playoff round. But the Colts have their eyes on bigger goals. In early June they signed Ahmad Bradshaw which fixes a huge issue for their offense. Ballard will be much more effective if not relied upon so heavily. They also shored up the offensive line with Gosder Cherilus at tackle.
The Colts typically had a strong defense in the Peyton Manning days, but not so much last season. There are very few household names after Dwight Freeney left in free agency this year. Veteran Robert Mathis remains and improving linebacker Pat Angerer is slowly improving. Not even the acquisition of cornerback Vontae Davis could keep the pass defense unit from being bad and the rush defense worse. The Colts gave up the fourth-most rushing yards. But the entire unit will get upgraded with the additions of safety LaRon Landry and cornerback Greg Toler. In 2012 it often seemed like the offense was simply outscoring the defense and the same thing could happen this year. When the Colts matched up against tough competition they really had little hope to keep them from moving the ball, instead playing catch-up all the time. The win over Green Bay had a final of 30-27. They gave up 59 points to New England. Even the Jets scored 35 points on them. But don't underrate Coach Chuck Pagano who didn't get to fully implement his system last year. Thanks to his inspiring fight against leukemia and interim coach Bruce Arians' terrific job coaching, all the players believe in Pagano now. Watch out for these Colts.

Diane Connell has been teaching in one form or another since she was seventeen years old when volunteered to help tutor high school students who had dropped out of the public school system in Nashville, Tennessee. She has enjoyed teaching children and adolescents of all ages.
Professionally, she tends to juxtapose four areas: special education, neurology, psychology, and cognition. Her master's degree is in Education Psychology from Columbia University. It was there that she began to integrate her interests in psychology, education, and neuropsychology.
Her interest in brain based learning began when she was teaching at Northeastern University. During this time she read Dr. Howard Gardner's book, Frames of Mind: the Theory of MultipleIntelligences. Around this time period, she also read Sally Springer and Georg Deutsch's Left Brain, Right Brain and Joseph LeDoux's Emotional Intelligence. She began to connect the findings of these theorists to her own teaching.
She has been at Rivier since 1996 where she has ardently pursued her interest in learning disabilities; brain based learning with its neurological foundation; and the areas of emotional and spiritual development.
In the past 6 years, she has developed a passion for writing. She has written one book (Brain Based Strategies to Reach Every Learner, July 2005, Scholastic Publishing) and articles that exemplify and tie together her interests in special education, psychology, neuro-psychology, and teaching.
Academic Philosophy"My academic philosophy begins with the idiom "Know Thyself." I have worked hard to know myself as a person, and as a professor, from different perspectives including multiple intelligences, left/right/middle brain; emotional and spiritual intelligence; and information processing. I teach my students how to know themselves from these perspectives too. I believe that understanding our own strengths and weaknesses will help us relate better to all students: including those whose learning styles are similar to ours, and those whose learning styles are different than ours."

Although UU does present an array of options when it comes to Fighting-types, Hitmonlee has certain assets that make him a great choice for a team. His base 120 Attack is a huge plus, and it is backed up by powerful attacks such as STAB Close Combat, Stone Edge, and Sucker Punch, all of which allow him to decimate many common Pokemon in the tier. Hitmonlee is also one of the fastest Fighting-types, sitting comfortably above the omnipresent base 80 speed tier, and Limber actually grants the frail Hitmonlee opportunities to switch in.
Even with these advantages, Hitmonlee faces stiff competition for a spot on the team from other Fighting-types. Blaziken's Fire STAB and high Special Attack allow him to destroy Weezing and Spiritomb, common counters for Fighting-types. Toxicroak's Dry Skin gives him more opportunities to switch in, while he can boost both his Attack and Special Attack, aiding his unpredictability. With entry hazards being so popular, Hitmontop is often the Fighting-type of choice because of his ability to Rapid Spin effectively. Although competition between Fighting-types in UU is fierce, Hitmonlee has his perks, which make him a great choice for many teams. Underestimate this "kicking fiend" at your peril.
One of the major benefits of using Life Orb is that Hitmonlee can freely switch between attacks, making him less susceptible to prediction. Since Hitmonlee is already frail, the added power on each attack is a great trade-off for a small amount of recoil. With a base 120 Attack stat, powerful moves, and great coverage, not much can safely switch into this set.
Close Combat is the core move of this set, providing Hitmonlee with a powerful STAB attack that effectively demolishes the many Pokemon who do not have the Defense to handle it. Stone Edge complements Close Combat perfectly, OHKOing common Flying-types like Moltres and giving Hitmonlee a powerful attack to deter Ghost-types from switching in. Earthquake is used to handle bulky Poison-types like Nidoqueen who would otherwise wall this set, and lands an OHKO on Toxicroak, although Blaze Kick can be used to deliver an OHKO to offensive Venusaur. The last slot gives Hitmonlee a strong priority attack, as his Speed is still quite average. Mach Punch is the more reliable option, as it doesn't require your opponent to attack, but Sucker Punch is more powerful and allows Hitmonlee to revenge kill special threats like Mismagius and Alakazam (beware of Substitute).Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Hitmonlee sports the highest base Attack out of all the Fighting-types in UU (tied with both Blaziken and Hariyama), making him a great revenge killer. With Choice Scarf compensating for Hitmonlee's middling Speed, he now has the ability to OHKO faster threats such as Sceptile and Swellow before they have a chance to attack. Although lacking in power, this set focuses on eliminating offensive Pokemon rather than pure wallbreaking.
Close Combat is Hitmonlee's STAB move and serves as his main form of attack. Earthquake is used for Poison-types, such as Toxicroak, Nidoking, and Nidoqueen, who can easily soak up Hitmonlee's STAB. Stone Edge complements Close Combat and Earthquake by hitting Flying-types super effectively, as they can switch in on most of this set with ease. The last slot is mostly filler. Blaze Kick puts the hurt on Venusaur while Mach Punch can be used to hit Pokemon that attempt to attack Hitmonlee with priority, or if the opponent has grabbed a Speed boost.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
When you supplement 120 base Attack with a 120 base Power STAB attack from one of the best attacking types in the game, you know you've got a monster on your hands. Choice Band Hitmonlee hits 508 Attack, enough to easily muscle his way through most of the tier. With the great coverage this set provides, not much can switch in safely. Pokemon that could have easily sponged an unboosted Hitmonlee's Close Combat, such as Regirock and Steelix, now have a chance to be OHKOed with Stealth Rock support, showing how easily Hitmonlee can dispose of the toughest Pokemon in the tier.
Close Combat is Hitmonlee's powerful STAB move and is used to eliminate powerful walls such as Registeel and Milotic. Close Combat does up to 38% to the now popular specially defensive Weezing, meaning that with just Stealth Rock support it has a high chance to 3HKO. Earthquake is, again, used to hit Poison-types and now gets the 2HKO on Nidoqueen, eliminating her as a counter. Stone Edge hits Flying-types for an OHKO and prevents Ghost-types from switching in for free. Mismagius is OHKOed after Stealth Rock, and there is a chance to OHKO Rotom as well. Since every move on this set can OHKO or 2HKO every Venusaur bar the physically bulkiest, Mach Punch is a superior option to Blaze Kick, as it grants Hitmonlee a nifty revenge killing tool. Blaze Kick can still be used if you have trouble with physically bulky Venusaur, however.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Since Hitmonlee is commonly seen holding a Life Orb, opponents will assume he is Choiced if he doesn't suffer recoil after every attack. This set capitalizes on that assumption, allowing Hitmonlee to obtain a surprise KO against an unsuspecting opponent.
Substitute eases prediction, as it allows Hitmonlee to scout the opponent's switch-in and protects him from all forms of status. Close Combat is the crux of the set, and it is complemented by Stone Edge, which delivers a swift KO against Flying-types and provides a way to hit Ghost-types. Rock Slide is a more reliable attack that still OHKOes Scyther and Moltres, but it is weaker against everything else. Sucker Punch has excellent synergy with Substitute, which forces the opponent to attack and therefore ensures it lands.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Hitmonlee can use Bulk Up to boost his Attack stat, but he's better off attacking right from the start. Double-Edge is Hitmonlee's strongest attack against walls such as Weezing, but the added recoil and the fact that it doesn't 2HKO most variants with Choice Band equipped (specially defensive spreads have a chance to be 2HKOed with Stealth Rock) make it a lesser option, especially since it severely limits his coverage.
Hitmonlee has access to Reversal, and it's extremely powerful when set up correctly, but he has trouble using it effectively because of all the priority users running rampant in the tier. He also has trouble setting it up due to his frailty.
Checks and Counters
Pokemon who have a resistance or immunity to Fighting make great counters to Hitmonlee. Weezing, Claydol, Slowbro, and Uxie can switch into any attack and OHKO with Psychic or burn him with Will-O-Wisp. Nidoqueen also makes a decent counter as long as she avoids Earthquake.
The Choice sets are a bit easier to counter, as he cannot switch between attacks. Bringing Rotom or Mismagius in on Close Combat or Earthquake allows them to obtain a free turn to either Substitute or set up Nasty Plot. Take advantage of immunities and the fact that Hitmonlee is locked into one move to set up a dangerous Pokemon.
Priority attacks will seriously injure Hitmonlee, due to his frailty. Some noteworthy examples include Azumarill's Aqua Jet and Arcanine's ExtremeSpeed.

Most Valuable Pollution Prevention Projects Recognized
KPPC receives national P2 award.
The Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center (KPPC) and the Kentucky Institute for the Environment and Sustainable Development (KIESD) received a 2009 Most Valuable Pollution Prevention (MVP2) Award for their collaboration on an issue of Sustain magazine, which was dedicated to the topic of "Evolving Pollution Prevention." KPPC and KIESD were honored by the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable at an annual ceremony in Washington, D.C. on September 22, 2009.
The Sustain issue takes the reader from the grass roots definition and conception of P2 as related to waste minimization in the 1980s to a snapshot of the matured, comprehensive multimedia approach that encompasses air, water and energy efficiency. This is accomplished through case studies reflecting successful, innovative P2 applications and metrics achieved both from an industry and technical program perspective, examples of integrated strategies for evaluating technical assistance programs, a profile of EPA's Green Suppliers Network, promotion of competency-based training for P2 facilitators, demonstration of emerging technologies and how one region is addressing waste reduction through a variety of resources. The information communicated provides a holistic view on how P2 is interrelated in providing human health, economic and environmental benefits.
The National Pollution Prevention Roundtable (NPPR) has sponsored the MVP2 Awards program since 1999 to recognize outstanding and innovative projects and programs. The 2009 MVP2 Awards were presented during P2 Week (September 21 - 27), a national pollution prevention awareness campaign. Award recipients represent a broad range of backgrounds, including federal government agencies, academia, industries, non-profits, and individuals that have demonstrated significant accomplishments in pollution prevention (P2).
The 2009 award winners for P2 Projects:
- U.S. Department of Energy (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) and DynMcDermott Petroleum Operation Company
- East Metro
- Garlock Sealing Technologies
- IBM Burlington
- Kansas State University Pollution Prevention Institute
- Lubrication Technologies, Inc.
Award winners for P2 Publications:
- KPPC and KIESD
- New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
- Pollution Prevention Resource
Exchange (P2Rx)
Combined, this years winners reduced pollution by nearly 8829 tons/year, conserved more than 28.0 million kilowatts of energy, and reduced water consumption by 108 million gallons a year, while cutting costs by over $6 million. Jeffrey Burke, Executive Director of NPPR, stated, "These organizations have clearly demonstrated that pollution prevention is beneficial to both the environment and the economy. They are being recognized for their leadership and commitment to promoting a sustainable future."
The MVP2 awards were just one aspect of National P2 Week. Since P2 Week became a national event in 1995, NPPR has been advancing pollution prevention awareness through its efforts to encourage and promote widespread participation during this week. By sharing information, National P2 Week is a time when organizations can become more competitive, can realize cost savings, and enhance environmental quality.

The two Anniston golfers birdied each of their last two holes at NorthRiver Yacht Club just to get into the playoff. They shot a final-round 69 and finished regulation at 6-under 136.
Brady fired at the pin with a 6-iron in heavy wind around water and made a bounce-back birdie on No. 17. On No. 18, Rogers hit a 5-wood from 180 yards uphill into the wind to three feet and made his birdie.
The other local team in the field, Jeremy McGatha and Jaylon Ellison, shot a final-round 69 and missed the cut by three shots.

ISSUE: Compromise on county's solid waste plan
OUR VIEW: Berry and Duvall could provide model
Compromise can be a difficult to achieve. Differing viewpoints and expected outcomes often create insurmountable hurdles that stand in the way of getting everything wanted by those on opposing sides of any issue. Like a brick wall separating one space from another, failure or refusal to communicate can only worsen the problem and push constructive progress further out of reach.

Course Descriptions
In this mixed skills class, students reinforce their understanding of the grammar points taught by applying it in their writing. Students also learn to self-edit for mistakes in grammar and writing conventions. In lower level classes, students focus on writing paragraphs and will progress to essays in higher intermediate levels. Students learn multiple genres of essay writing in preparation for the advanced levels where the focus moves to writing research papers of mixed genres similar to what would be expected of them in a university class.
These lower level classes are structured to help students progress quickly in reading. There is a strong focus on vocabulary building strategies and increasing passive vocabulary. We recognize that a strong vocabulary base is essential for the developing reader. The reading section of the course emphasizes reading for comprehension and increasing reading speed. Students learn scanning and skimming strategies, recognition of rhetorical modes, and inference through intensive and extensive reading.
This is a more advanced reading class for upper levels. In addition to continued work on reading and vocabulary strategies and speed, students also focus on critical reading skills such as identifying audience, bias, tone, mood, and purpose. Students learn to express their opinions and support them through analysis of a text. Classes read and discuss selections from authentic sources as well as selections from graded readers. Novels are used in class for extensive reading. Topics range from simple stories, to academic readings across a variety of disciplines.
In these lower level classes, students become proficient and comfortable speaking English through practice in the following areas: English conversation patterns, formal and informal speeches, role-playing, debates, vocabulary development, group discussions and pronunciation practice. Students are introduced to note taking strategies and continue to develop their listening comprehension strategies. Context clues, inferences, and a focus on learning to decipher emotion and figurative speech are also addressed.
This upper level listening class has a strong focus on comprehension and the skills needed for success in lecture classes, seminars, and labs. This class focuses on refining note taking strategies and learning to use these notes to outline, summarize, discuss and develop critical opinions about lectures (skills that are expected of American university students). Students are exposed to real-time university lectures as well as podcasts and other authentic listening opportunities. By doing this, they learn to recognize lecture format and cues that signal important information, bias, and point of view.
The goal of this upper level speaking class is to help students develop speaking skills they will need to participate in American university classes. In that spirit, formal presentation and discussion skills are emphasized. Students refine their oral ability through doing impromptu speeches as well as several formal, structured presentations in different genres. In addition to this, students learn how to effectively participate in class discussions, debates, and group work. Pronunciation and fluency skills are also addressed.
These classes focus on very specific skill topics. They help students improve and fine-tune the skills taught in their core classes. Students are free to choose from several classes offered each session.
Examples of Skills Topic classes:
- Pronunciation and Spelling
- Writing Mechanics
- Test Preparation
- Developing Fluency through Verbs
- Debate
- Idioms and Slang (check out the class blog, Idiomatic English!)
- Advanced Vocabulary
These are classes that help students practice the skills they are learning in their core classes. Instead of learning about English, students use their English to study topics, communicate with classmates, and access information. Students are free to choose from several classes offered each session.
Examples of Special Topic classes:
- Native American Cultures
- Introduction to American Culture: Communicating in a new environment
- Discussing Culture: A deeper examination of American and global cultures
- Critical examination of an American novel
- IELI Newsletter/Blog Production
- English through Film
Discover Humboldt: Introduction to American University
This course is required for all new students at the IELI (who are placed in the Intermediate level or above) and all students who progress to the Intermediate level at the IELI.
This multi-level course is meant as an introduction to the culture of universities in the USA. Students will practice developing academic skills needed to be successful American university students in the context of discovering the academic services, facilities, clubs, organizations, and activities that are available to them at HSU. Students will also become familiar with language forms and standard processes that are characteristic of the university experience.

I worked at Charles Schwab full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – They hire almost anyone with a pulse, decent benefits, pay for training to get series 7. Sorry couldnt come up with any more.
Cons – Everything else. You take about 5,000 calls a year, your whole worth to the company depends on about 30-40 of those calls that are graded. The good calls which are the majority(unless you arent doing a good job) are hidden like a needle in a haystack, the bad calls stick out due to customer surveys or a micro-managing manager breathing over your neck. Alot of customers are rude and demaning, the company doesnt do anything about these customers and allows them to continue to demean employees. By the way if you dont get a perfect 9 on every survey, your job could be in danger, one customer that is upset at life that gives you a 0 can cost you a 5k bonus or worse your job. There are a bunch of awful mid-level managers that either are old that have been there forever and contribute nothing to the company(i.e C.N.) or young managers that have no experience managing people that got the job because they were able to suck up to people and work the number system.(i.e A.T) There are a few good managers, but its like playing russian roulette,if you get the wrong manager you will be fired eventually or get to the point you want to quit. Know alot about finance and stocks? doesnt matter your worth to the company depends not on your knowledge but on how many times you can get a client to click on a certain part of the website. Most people that work here that are on the phones which is about everybody either are looking for another job or are miserable to the point of quitting or being fired. I was on 4 teams during my time and 80 percent of everybody on the teams was miserable or looking for another job. There are worse jobs but not many.
Advice to Senior Management – Anyone with half a brain could make positive changes here, but it does not seem tobe something that management wants to address. They like to sit in their offices thinking of new ways to make a miserable work environment, and ultimately a bad customer environment. Unfortunately no one holds them accountable.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

They do make and sell clamps specifically for the job but I just use a wood block clamp.
If you want to go big...
I'm planing on having a 4'' well driled it should be about 250' deep. I would like to save myself some money by installing the submersible pump myself. There will be two people one strong & one week . If I install using threaded pvc pipe do you think the two people could do it ? Is there a clamp that I could buy that would hold the pvc pipe in place to keek the pump from falling in the well, to add another length of pipe ?
If you have suggestions on what else I could do,I'm all ears.
Thanks for any help you can give me
They do make and sell clamps specifically for the job but I just use a wood block clamp.
If you want to go big...
I too would avoid PVC couplings. 1-1/4" schedule 80 drop pipe is about 60 lbs per 100 feet.
Depends on the PVC couplings. We use sch 1" 120 pipe with sch 120 couplings here all the time down to 700' with no problems.
The biggest problem you will have using sch 80 is holding it steady & straight up n down while you screw it together. See if you can rent an up z dazy with a halo, it will make life much, much easier and safer too!
Better yet, call a pump guy with a good solid reputation and have him do it. He has all the equipment, the knowledge, and the job will be guaranteed.
I found myself without my hoist the other day replacing a twin-line jet for a sub. The location was too wet for the truck (38' boom). We screwed all the pipe in on the ground (stainless couplings) and ran it in one string. It's tough to tape the wire good to the pipe doing it like this...but we only had 3 joints. Everything went well. You can use 1" sch 80 PVC...no need for 1.25" pipe unless you're using a high volume pump. A pair of vice grips works really well to hold the pipe for taping etc. Squeeze em down tight, you won't hut the pipe.
Just make sure you get the wire tight (no slack in the well) and get everything ready first including the well seal at the top (a piece of tape under the well seal will hold it in place. cut the wire 2-3 ft above the well seal and put it through. I always put a junction box right at the well seal anyways.
Good luck!!
They make it both ways....but the pipe I'm familiar with is sch 80 with male ends on both sides (threaded). They make some stuff that is MXF so you don't need to buy any couplings. I use stainless or brass couplings but you can use galv. if you have good water. If you do use galv. make sure you tape the couplings up. As a rule I avoid putting galv. pipe in a pvc well unless the whole string is galv. Brass/Stainless couplings are about $10-15 retail.
What is the water level in the well and how much GPM does it make?
Wrong pipe. Use Poly 160 psi in ONE piece and slip it all in in one shot.
You'll probably have to special order the 160 or 200 psi poly here in Tx. It's just not carried at many retailers.
Thanks for all the good replies. If I go with the polly, what would be the best way to fasten to pump ? Would I have to splice two rolls togather if so what would the best way to splice it be ?
Thanks to all.
I would use one long roll, not two shorter ones to avoid a splice. A long barb fitting should be used at the pump.
No you can get poly in 100', 200', 300', 400, & 500' rolls. You need to use a male x insert adapter that is made of the same material the pump is. For example, stainless pump, stainless adapter. But for a few dollars more you can buy sch 80.
I have heard of people screwing sch 80 together on the ground and running it in, but I have never done it.
Personally, I hate seeing a submersible in a well hung on poly. The stuff is designed for being in a trench. Why? Go pull out a few hundred feet of poly. In addition to the stuff having a memory and wanting to curl up, it's all over the yard, in the dirt & dog crap, the wire gets knots in it...... Sch 80 can be laid out on blocks to keep it out of the dirt, you can get the wire taped off so there is no slack, the wire can be rolled up on a reel when the pump needs to be changed....it's just makes for a nicer, cleaner, more professional installation with a far less chance of picking up and transferring surface contamination to the well.
Not a DIYer option but for a pro, the P5 solves those issues.
its made by doc brown from back to the future.
looks like a big pita. glad we dont have poly here, pump hoists are easy.

In a housing finance system that includes a government guarantee, private capital that stands in the "first loss" position plays an important role in reducing the risk of taxpayer losses.
The Government National Mortgage Association (or Ginnie Mae) is a government corporation within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It was established in 1968 when Fannie Mae was privatized. Its mission is to expand funding for mortgages that are insured or guaranteed by other federal agencies. When these mortgages are bundled into securities, Ginnie Mae provides a full-faith-and- credit guarantee on these securities, thus lessening the risk for investors and broadening the market for the securities.
The secondary market for mortgages plays a critical role in sustaining a healthy housing market. Few homebuyers have sufficient savings to purchase a home outright, and many need to borrow money to buy their first home or to move to another one.
On October 30, 2013, the Bipartisan Policy Center and Intel Corporation hosted a forum to explore the potential for big data innovation to improve homeland security, current and future challenges to overcome, and policy principles that will encourage innovation while safeguarding privacy and security in our increasingly connected society. This event is part of the ongoing Innovation Economy conversation convened by Intel in 2009, focused on the vital role of innovation in sustaining and building upon U.S. competitiveness in the global economy.
On June 25, 2013, the BPC's Health Innovation Initiative held a policy forum in collaboration with Intel to explore the potential that "big data" holds to improve both the delivery of care and the health and wellness of individuals.
AEIC supports consistent and growing authorizations for public investments in innovation generally and in energy R&D specifically. We know that investments in the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and in American scientific endeavors are critical to U.S. competitiveness in energy technology and will drive future economic growth. We support the aims of the 2007 America COMPETES legislation and its 2010 reauthorization, and we urge you to continue on the path previously set by these bipartisan efforts.
